Throwback Thursday #5

This week, Kollywood celebrates the birthday of ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ Padhmashri Kalaimamani Dr. Kamal Haasan who turned 58 yesterday! Was it necessary to include all the titles in naming the legend? Absolutely! Kamal Haasan is one of the most-celebrated actors in Indian history, with a career spanning five decades and a tally of awards to match.

As our tribute to one of the most talented and inspirational Tamil artists, for this week’s throwback we bring you a song from Kamal’s first all-time blockbuster ‘Apoorva Sagodharargal’, a 1989 dramedy directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao.

The song ‘Unnai Ninaichen’ – composed by Ilaiyaraaja and sung by SP Balasubramniam – is iconic of Kamal’s versatility, as well as his famed ability to pull on the audience’s heart-strings!

Belated birthday wishes to the legendary actor, from all of us at Thamarai!
